The parliamentary 'entrepreneurial political start up' has no members, and its shareholding structure gives Nigel Farage ultimate control
Former president Donald Trump often finds himself on the defensive against accusations of racism. He regularly denies the charges, distorting his record and resorting to his “Black friends” defense, while attempting to throw the allegations back at liberals. However, he never explains why he is the favorite son of the one group in society about whose racial bigotry there can be no debate: avowed racists. Since Trump emerged as a public political figure, they have been resolute in their loyalty to him. Are Trump’s African American allies like Senator Tim Scott or Representative Byron Donalds, or Latino ones like Senator Marco Rubio, truly ignorant of his unapologetically racist champions? Or is their blind ambition to share a ticket with him... Read more

And when? Several stories appeared yesterday about where and when Joe Biden’s war chest would go should he drop out of the presidential race as the slavering press hopes. Days ago, The Wall Street Journal alleged that Biden could not transfer the entirety of the nearly $100 million to Kamala Harris until after he is his party’s official nominee. The DNC still plans to hold a virtual roll call vote for that purpose sometime between July 21 and August 7. The move was originally planned to work around a rule in Ohio (since rescinded) that required a party’s candidate there to be formalized before August 7. The New York Times seems to confirm the WSJ report that were Biden “to be officially nominated” Harris might receive the funds seamlessly since her name is already on the ticket. The Times and Forbes also run down options for where else the money might go. But there is a lot of gray area, reports USA Today.

Independents once lived only in prairies and deserts in the United States. Today, they thrive almost anywhere there are ranches, farms, or ultimate Frisbee courses. Sometimes, they even live among people. It may seem charming when you spot one sitting on the fence, but don’t forget that Independents can siphon off your electoral resources, without which you could get run-offs, ultimately leading to devastating soul erosion.
Although their territory now extends all the way from Rhode Island to Burning Man, Independents tend to be elusive. You might catch a glimpse of one lurking around the shadowy edges of a party, but almost nothing entices them, making them difficult to capture. They don’t like big movements. However, experts say it’s crucial to try—in the least invasive way possible—to register them, no matter how much they prefer not to be put in a box. The preservation of their homeland just may depend on it.
